The White House says that attacks by Yemen-based Houthi rebels in the Red Sea are “escalatory” and that the United States will consult with its partners about the next steps if these attacks continue.
“Despite what the Houthis may say, they are threatening and targeting commercial vessels with ties to countries all over the world, many of which have no connection to Israel whatsoever,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says.
“These attacks are unlawful and escalatory,” he adds.
